lol I know now cheers David..I didnt scroll right down so just presumed they were all parcel force prices.
 
Might be worth PMing StewartR from lensesforhire to see which carrier(s) they use to send lenses out.
 
I did think of that mate but all sorted now,lens is winging its way to Matt via rmsd..
 
RMSD all the way. Good decision.
 
Rmsd doesn't go by parcel size just weight so I always try and keep mine under 2 kilos if poss. Glad you got it sorted.

No it doesn't.

'Ordinary' post is divided into 5 size categories: Letter, Large Letter, Small Parcel, Medium Parcel, Large Parcel. But Special Delivery doesn't take any account of size, other than that it isn't available for Large Parcels. So there is a size limit of 61 x 46 x 46 cm, but as long as you're within that size limit the only thing that affect the price are the weight and the insurance value.
